This song, For the first time by the Script, always makes me choke up a bit. Vinnie was laid off over a year ago and he has been unemployed for that time. Things are really hard. A lot of things are hard. It's not just the money stuff, which is huge, but it is also the emotions. There are so many different emotions involved in being unemployed and in being the working spouse. I have not really shared this publicly on my blog because I felt that it was too private. I will not talk specifically about my husband's stuff or even my stuff regarding the situation. I will just say this, if you know someone who is in this position, just be there for them. They might just need a shoulder right now. Thanks friends.

I remember the days when the boys were little and I'd be going off to work...would always get a pang...mothering and work...challenge together but doable and my kids turned out to be great teens.....
Well, I could speak on this topic for days on end. But I will make this post short and sweet.
You are the most amazing woman I have ever met. You have kept our family afloat money wise (my UI checks not withstanding) and emotionally. Words can not and never will be able to express how grateful I am for everything you have done for our family during our recent hardships. I know that things are difficult right now. But I also look back in amazement of how we, as a family have stayed intact. Not to sugar coat anything at all, but the love we have for each other has helped us in ways I never thought possible.
I don't know what else I can add here publicly, other than I LOVE YOU my dear, and promise you good things are coming our way. Things get the darkest before dawn, and I see the sun starting to come through.
